What distro and kontact-version is this?  In all versions I've used birthdays 
and anniversaries are stored in korganizer.  I've never seen this problem - I 
would have thought that date display would follow the general kde configuration 
rules set in systemsettings > regional & language > country/region & language,  
Time & Dates tab

First make sure that it is a bug.  If only you are seeing it, it's a 
configuration error.  HTH
